Jalandhar, April 23

The police have foiled a targeted killing plot by cross-border operatives with the arrest of a key member affiliated with a Pakistani terror cell, as revealed by DGP Gaurav Yadav on Tuesday.

The accused, Lovepreet Singh, from Udho Nangal village in Amritsar, was found in possession of a .30 bore automatic Chinese pistol along with a magazine and four cartridges.

Acting swiftly on intelligence inputs, the Jalandhar police deployed specialised teams to set up a check-point in Rama Mandi, leading to the arrest of Lovepreet and the seizure of the sophisticated firearm.

Yadav said investigations revealed Lovepreet’s association with Pakistan-based operatives, who tasked him with executing target killings in J&K region.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
